2008-04-04[IA64] Kernel parameter for max number of concurrent global TLB purgesFenghua Yu
The patch defines kernel parameter "nptcg=". The parameter overrides max number of concurrent global TLB purges which is reported from either PAL_VM_SUMMARY or SAL PALO. Signed-off-by: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2008-04-04[IA64] Multiple outstanding ptc.g instruction supportFenghua Yu
According to SDM2.2, Itanium supports multiple outstanding ptc.g instructions. But current kernel function ia64_global_tlb_purge() uses a spinlock to serialize ptc.g instructions issued by multiple processors. This serialization might have scalability issue on a big SMP machine where many processors could purge TLB in parallel. The patch fixes this problem by issuing multiple ptc.g instructions in ia64_global_tlb_purge(). It also adds support for the "PALO" table to get a platform view of the max number of outstanding ptc.g instructions (which may be different from the processor view found from PAL_VM_SUMMARY). PALO specification can be found at: http://www.dig64.org/home/DIG64_PALO_R1_0.pdf spinaphore implementation by Matthew Wilcox.

2008-03-04[IA64] workaround tiger ia64_sal_get_physical_id_info hangAlex Chiang
This fixes regression introduced in 113134fcbca83619be4c68d0ca66db6093777b5d Intel Tiger platforms hang when calling SAL_GET_PHYSICAL_ID_INFO instead of properly returning -1 for unimplemented, so add a version check. SGI Altix platforms have an incorrect SAL version hard-coded into their prom -- they encode 2.9, but actually implement 3.2 -- so fix it up and allow ia64_sal_get_physical_id_info to keep working.

Since kvm/module needs to use some unexported functions in kernel, so export them with this patch. Signed-off-by: Zhang Xiantao <xiantao.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2007-10-12[IA64] abstract SAL_CALL wrapper to allow other firmware entry pointsBjorn Helgaas
SAL_CALL() always calls through the ia64_sal function pointer. I am adding new functionality that needs the same conventions as SAL_CALL (FP regs saved/restored, sal_lock acquired, etc), but doesn't use the ia64_sal function pointer. This patch pulls the body of SAL_CALL out into a new "IA64_FW_CALL" that takes care of these calling conventions, but allows the caller to specify either ia64_sal or some other firmware entry point.

2006-10-31[IA64] move SAL_CACHE_FLUSH check later in bootTroy Heber
The check to see if the firmware drops interrupts during a SAL_CACHE_FLUSH is done to early in the boot. SAL_CACHE_FLUSH expects to be able to make PAL calls in virtual mode, on some cell based machines a fault occurs causing a MCA. This patch moves the check after mmu_context_init so the TLB and VHPT are properly setup. Signed-off-by Troy Heber <troy.heber@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2006-02-02[IA64] avoid broken SAL_CACHE_FLUSH implementationsBjorn Helgaas
If SAL_CACHE_FLUSH drops interrupts, complain about it and fall back to using PAL_CACHE_FLUSH instead. This is to work around a defect in HP rx5670 firmware: when an interrupt occurs during SAL_CACHE_FLUSH, SAL drops the interrupt but leaves it marked "in-service", which leaves the interrupt (and others of equal or lower priority) masked.

2005-12-13[IA64] Split 16-bit severity field in sal_log_record_headerTony Luck
ERR_SEVERITY item is defined as a 8 bits item in SAL documentation ($B.2.1 rev december 2003), but as an u16 in sal.h. This has the side effect that current code in mca.c may not call ia64_sal_clear_state_info() upon receiving corrected platform errors if there are bits set in the validation byte.

2005-04-25[IA64] multi-core/multi-thread identificationSuresh Siddha
Version 3 - rediffed to apply on top of Ashok's hotplug cpu patch. /proc/cpuinfo output in step with x86. This is an updated MC/MT identification patch based on the previous discussions on list.

2005-04-22[IA64] cpu hotplug: return offlined cpus to SALAshok Raj
This patch is required to support cpu removal for IPF systems. Existing code just fakes the real offline by keeping it run the idle thread, and polling for the bit to re-appear in the cpu_state to get out of the idle loop. For the cpu-offline to work correctly, we need to pass control of this CPU back to SAL so it can continue in the boot-rendez mode. This gives the SAL control to not pick this cpu as the monarch processor for global MCA events, and addition does not wait for this cpu to checkin with SAL for global MCA events as well. The handoff is implemented as documented in SAL specification section 3.2.5.1 "OS_BOOT_RENDEZ to SAL return State" Signed-off-by: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
